#  A bed that’s used for sleeping isn’t considered an interruption between the person davening and the wall, however because some argue on this, one try to strict not to daven in front of a bed used for sleeping if that’s possible. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 90:65 writes that a bed used to sleep on is considered established and not an interruption (based on Bet Yosef) however because some (Bach and Taz) argue that it is an interruption, one should try to avoid Davening in front of a bed used for sleeping if it’s possible. </ref>

# In cases of great need such as if one had to wake up early to travel one may say Shemona Esreh from Olot HaShachar and then say Shema while traveling if one is able to have kavana (proper intent) while traveling. <ref>S”A 89:8 </ref>

# A Shaliach Tzibbur who makes a mistake and skipped a Bracha of Shemona Esreh (in Chazarat HaShatz) and when he is corrected he returns to where he made the mistake, he should continue to be Shaliach Tzibbur. However, if he skipped Birkat HaMinim (VeLamalshinim) the Shaliach Tzibbur should be removed immediately because there’s a fear that he is a heretic. <Ref>Tur and S”A 126:1 </ref>

==Davening sitting==
# If one is riding a donkey one is not obligated to get off the donkey even if one has a person to hold the donkey while one prays rather one may pray while the donkey is moving. Some are strict to stop the donkey to say the first Bracha of Shemona Esreh and one should be careful about this unless there’s danger. <ref>S”A 94:4 </ref>
# If one is on a boat or a wagon if one is able to stand to pray one should do so. If one is able to stand for the bowings and three steps back (at the end of Shemona Esreh) one should do so. If not, one should pray sitting. Some are strict to stop the donkey to say the first Bracha of Shemona Esreh and one should be careful about this unless there’s danger. <ref>S”A 94:4-5 </ref>
# If one is walking by foot one may pray while walking and even if one doesn’t face Yerushalayim. Some are strict to stop the donkey to say the first Bracha of Shemona Esreh and one should be careful about this unless there’s danger. <ref>S”A 94:4 </ref>
# It all depends on the situation, the time, place, and ability of the person to pray with a settled mind. <ref>S”A 94:4 </ref>
# Someone who is sick and can’t stand may pray even lying down if he is able to have kavana (proper intent). If he is not able to have kavana he should think the words of Shemona Esreh. <ref>S”A and Rama 94:6 </ref>
# One should not lean on a pillar or a friend while saying Shemona Esreh. <ref>S”A 94:8 </ref>
# If one was forced to pray sitting or while traveling, one should pray again standing when one is able to. <ref>S”A 94:9 </ref>
